Jun 11, 2012

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College
cross country program and head coach Joe
Samprone announced the 2012 schedule Monday, featuring
five regular-season meets prior to the Peach Belt Conference (PBC)
Championships.

The season starts as it has for the last few years, with the
Bobcats’ annual home meet, the Bobcat Invitational. The West
Campus Cross Country Course will once again provide an excellent
backdrop and one of the toughest courses in the southeast Friday,
Aug. 31 at 6 p.m.

From there, the Bobcats travel to the Bronx, N.Y. for week two
action, running in the Division I Fordham Fiasco at Fordham
University Sept. 8.

The following week features the shortest road trip of the 2012
campaign, the quick jaunt to Macon, Ga. for the annual RunFit
Inviational, hosted by Mercer University Sept. 15.

The Bobcats then head to the frozen north in Minneapolis, Minn.
for the Roy Griak Invitational at the University of Minnesota Sept.
22. The month of October brings the final regular-season race for
GC, the Jaguar Invitational at Augusta State University Oct. 5.

This year, the PBC Championship will be in Alabama at the
University of Montevallo Oct. 20, while the NCAA Southeast Region
Championship is at UNC Charlotte Nov. 3.

Georgia College cross country looks to build upon an exciting
2011 season, featuring the first two All-Southeast Region runners
in school history. The Bobcat women return a majority of their
starting lineup, while the GC men will be looking to replace two
All-PBC runners with this year’s young talented cast.

the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs
